Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the late notification of the exam grade made the grade decision void or unlawful.
Decisione estratta
The late notification was a procedural defect and violated the requirement of a decision within a reasonable time, but it did not make the grade decision void.
Motivazione estratta
Late service of an administrative decision is generally only an irregularity, not a particularly serious defect. Under good faith, the addressee must act promptly when aware that a decision exists or should exist; here the appellant knew the usual notification practice and waited too long before inquiring.
